Over one hundred and fifty feet of concrete tunnel collapsed in the Sasago Tunnel on the Chuo Expressway, Sunday morning.
The tunnel is located about fifty miles west of Tokyo, and the collapse happened to the Tokyo bound lanes.
Rescuers have had to be extremely careful so as to prevent a secondary collapse.
Their efforts have also been hampered by where in the tunnel the collapse occurred, about a mile inside the tunnel.
Emergency workers plan to continue until all vehicles are found.
At this time authorities aren't giving any official numbers on dead and injured.
